Abstract

Cuttings from the depth of 20 feet down to 5,200 feet in L.S.D No.2 Well, Susan River, were received from the Lucky Strike
Drilling Company for micropalaeontological examination. From 20 feed down to the depth of 60 feet, the lithology was whitish
siltstone. From 70 feed down to the last sample at 5,200 feet the sediments consisted almost entirely of dark grey to black
siltstones. Lower Cretaceous foraminifera and ostracode were recorded from several samples, the first occurrence being at
the depth of 190 feet and the last at 4,890 feet. The tests were not as numerous or as well preserved as those found in L.S.D
No. 1 Cherwell Well reported upon 28/6/55.
